2019 - 2020 LEGISLATURE LRB-5337/1 JK:klm 2019 SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 1 Relating to: opposing and condemning the passing and holding of the Articles of 2 Impeachment against our duly elected President, Donald J. Trump. 3 Whereas, the citizens of the United States of America deserve and expect a 4 federal government that reflects the will of the people, works tirelessly to pass timely 5 legislation, upholds the Constitution, and is capable of avoiding distracting 6 partisanship charades to keep moving our country forward; and 7 Whereas, Congress is responsible for addressing several complex issues, which 8 include defending our borders, maintaining our vast military superiority, spending 9 our tax dollars wisely, and respecting our states' rights; and 10 Whereas, regardless of these outstanding issues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi 11 and Congressional Democrats have focused their time on adopting Articles of 12 Impeachment against our duly elected President, Donald J. Trump, despite no 13 evidence of wrongdoing; and 14 Whereas, these unprecedented Articles of Impeachment have distracted 15 Congress from faithfully executing its duties to the American people and instead LRB-5337/1 2019 - 2020 Legislature - 2 - JK:klm 1 have created an atmosphere of distrust and disappointment for the people of our 2 great nation; and 3 Whereas, after weeks of the House holding on to the Articles of Impeachment, 4 it is time to for the Senate to provide a thorough yet expedited resolution to these 5 unprecedented, obviously partisan, impeachment claims; now, therefore, be it 6 Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the Wisconsin 7 Legislature opposes and condemns the passing and holding of the Articles of 8 Impeachment against our duly elected President, Donald J. Trump, instead of 9 addressing the serious issues facing our country and upholding the Constitution, 10 which every member has sworn to uphold; and, be it further 11 Resolved, That the Wisconsin Legislature supports U.S. Representatives Jim 12 Sensenbrenner, Glenn Grothman, Mike Gallagher, and Bryan Steil, who voted 13 against the Articles of Impeachment and have called on Congress to focus on fixing 14 the many problems our country faces; and, be it further 15 Resolved, That the Wisconsin Legislature demands a fair and speedy trial in 16 the Senate to end this partisan impeachment process of our duly elected President 17 and to return focus on working to deliver results for the hard-working men and 18 women of the United States of America. 19 (END).

Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 June 14, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: We write today to urge you to fully reopen the House of Representatives. The positive impact of increasing vaccination rates and decreasing cases of COVID-19 are clear to see. Businesses are open, sporting venues and cultural institutions have welcomed back fans and visitors, and restrictions have been lifted. On June 11, Washington D.C. fully reopened and lifted the restrictions put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the United States Capitol and the People’s House have failed to do the same. The Capitol remains closed to the American people and the House continues to maintain policies that run contrary to science of COVID-19. It is time for you to reopen the House and get back to serving the American people. Weekly case numbers in the United States have reached their lowest point since March of 2020 at the very start of the pandemic, and every day hundreds of thousands of Americans are being vaccinated. This also holds true for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and the Capitol Hill community specifically. Over the last two weeks cases are down 36% in Washington D.C. and over 40% in both Virginia and Maryland. On Capitol Hill, no congressional staffer is known to have tested positive in weeks and no Member of Congress is known to have tested positive in months. This can no doubt be attributed to the institution’s steady access to vaccinations.

July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States
July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States: In the streets of Cuba, the people are bravely marching for a new day of freedom and demanding an end to the illegitimate, brutal Cuban dictatorship. After more than six decades of brutally oppressive rule, the Cuban people are risking their lives to loudly denounce the disastrous communist regime that has time and time again failed to promote and protect the general welfare of its citizens. The people are shouting “libertad,” and demanding freedom, democracy and human rights. As the Cuban people risk their lives for freedom, the world must stand with them in this critically important moment. As the democratically-elected leaders of the world’s free countries, we write to you today to fervently implore you to take action in support of the Cuban people and their democratic aspirations. It is time to finally end the evil and murderous reign of the communist, illegitimate Cuban regime that has murdered, tortured and oppressed for far too long. In concerted solidarity with the Cuban people, we believe there are four essential actions that we all must take immediately to promote freedom for the Cuban people and place further pressure on the corrupt and murderous Cuban regime to end its reign of terror. First, we urge you to emphatically denounce the illegitimate Cuban regime, hold it accountable for its human rights abuses and immediately end diplomatic relations. Freedom-loving nations must make clear our full and unwavering support for Cuba's pro-democracy movement, and for free and fair elections, with international supervision.
